Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

After months of teaser videos and easter eggs, Dodge finally unveiled their latest project last night at the New York Auto Show. Designed in secret by a select group of engineers, it’s described as the first production drag car that you would actually want to drive on the streets. You can watch the hour release video, but for those short on time we’ll break it down for you here.

Built to be the industry’s first, and only, purpose built, production, street legal drag car.

Comes stock with 315mm wide rear tires.

New production 6.2L Hemi with new billet steel camshaft and valvetrain upgrades.

Larger 2.7 liter supercharger, producing 14.5 lbs of boost.

Demon specific crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons.

Dual fuel pumps and high flow injectors.

High speed-stall torque converter and 3.09 rear gearing.

Produces 840 HP and 770 Ft/lb of torque.

Built in Innovation

Intake chiller system – in drag mode, the air conditioning is diverted to cool the air entering the engine, reducing the intake air temperature by 45 degrees the ambient.

Front suspension electronically dampens during launch to allow the front to lift and more weight transferred to the rear wheels.

It’s so fast that the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) banned it from competitions.

The Demon was not an incremental change to an existing vehicle. The challenger is a car that was born to drag race, so Dodge owed it to the challenger to evolve it to its purest form. As Tim Kuniskis said, “This isn’t just a Dodge, this isn’t just a challenger, this is the most technologically advanced street legal production drag car, ever!“

So what are your thoughts? Would you buy the fastest production car in history to daily drive during the week, and blow the hats off bystanders at the track on the weekend? Or would you rather build your own track monster from the ground up?
